What Effect Will Claiming Carers Allowance have on my National Insurance Contributions?

Carers Allowance is Paid Weekly, and each time you are paid the allowance the government will give you a National Insurance Credit to make sure you don't lose your entitlement to other benefits such as:

State Pension

Contribution-based Jobseekers Allowance

Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance

Incapacity Benefit

If you are a married woman who chose to pay reduced-rate National Insurance, you won't get these credits.
